Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds flank steak

  • 1/3 cup olive oil

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

  • Juice of 1 lime

Instructions

  • Make the Marinade: In a bowl, mix olive oil, soy sauce, vinegar, honey, garlic, black pepper, cumin, and lime juice.

  • Marinate the Steak: Place the flank steak in a zip-lock bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over it and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.

  • Preheat the Grill: Heat grill to medium-high heat.

  • Grill the Steak: Remove steak from marinade and let excess drip off. Grill for 4–6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or cook to your preferred doneness.

  • Rest & Slice: Let steak rest for 5–10 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.

Notes

  • Marinate overnight for the richest flavor.

  • Always slice against the grain to keep it tender.

  • This steak pairs beautifully with grilled veggies or a fresh green salad.
